The glyphs should be the same.

It is different font, so not compatible. Of the other fonts, STIX has very tall 
and narrow integral signs. There, Pagella looks better, but has strange looking 
Greek italic. There, Termes is even better, and nice weight on the sums, but 
has very narrow universal quantifiers. It has otherwise a nice weight in text 
boldface. Bonum has strange open Greek letters, and very thin, weird looking 
summation sign. I looked for serif DejaVu monospace, but could not find it: 
sans-serif thought to aid low resolution screens, but one is switching now.

i don't know as i never use those fonts in documents; maybe the design 
is different; is xits maintained, that is the question ...



\usemodule[math-repertoire]

\showmathcharacterssetbodyfonts{xits,stixtwo,modern,pagella,termes,bonum,schola,dejavu}

\starttext
\showmathfontrepertoire
\stoptext

some chars in stixtwo are smaller, some larger, so not compatible

[NTG-context] STIX vs XITS

2017-06-17 Thread Hans Åberg 
It says that XITS is an OpenType version of STIX on [1], but the latter now 
supports it. Does that mean that one can now use the latter directly?
